Hello.
I am curious why it's so difficult to get a simple and straight
forward list of FreeBSD's features, that normal people can understand?
I am trying to write one of the largest articles ever to be published
on www.PCWorld.no -- to only say good things about FreeBSD. But I want

There is no real answer to this question.

Clearly its weakest point.

Technically, it is correct. But it may imply something that isn't correct.
If you look at the discussion page, the editor who added that phrase used
the analogy of FreeBSD running a children's footrace. Putting those

Once again, that depends on your audience. If you ask me, its one

Im one of those "technical people", and the main reason I like
BSD is that its
Linux uptimes roll over at 400 days, so the comment was to off set the

they should have been able to fix the uptime clock at some point in the
last decade. Odd that MS can do something that Linux can't.

You could subscribe to more technical lists to see how help is done and
what kind of problems people face with a none-technical background.
